Alert Slider Too Stiff

[ODog2323]

Anyone else experiencing this? It's taking a lot of force to move the slider. I can barely do it with one hand even! Need to hold the phone firmly in one hand, then push with my other thumb.

Whenever I do try to move it with one hand, I often end up death gripping the phone and hitting the power button, since my finger rests right there.

maybe over time it will loosen up?

Mine is easy to switch, but stiff enough that it never happens accidentally.

Assuming you're not in your 80s and/or have some dexterity/arthritic issues, it might be worth sending back as faulty.

Haha yea I'm a very spry and strong 36! Shouldn't be this difficult!

I haven't heard the slider being so resistant for other users... I'd recommend returning and exchanging it, as well!

Its the one 'button' you want to be stiff imo

YES!!!!! I have experienced this since day one. Very frustrating. The slider on the OP3 was not nearly as hard to move.

Mine has loosened up a little bit but still isn't great.

Over time it would loosen up and moreover you can have it repaired or exchanged or returned

I say just sit for a while, watch tv and slide the slider up and down really fast for a few hours
